• Resumen

  • The world's most complex biological computer made from a group of engineered cells. Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate computation, and pass on the results to each other. The team wants to develop a single implant for in situ diagnosis.
